As part of their ADMT semester-long project, students are given the task to produce a short film of between 5 to 8 minutes long. They are broken up into groups of 4 to 5 students per team, and have about 14 weeks of lessons (150 minutes per week) to work on it.

As the performance task is expansive in nature, teams are highly encouraged to adopt role-taking at each of the pre-production, production and post-production stages of their project.

At the end of it, teams are required to submit the following:

• A team journal (leveraging on Google Doc platform with shared capabilities) that documents their project workflow and key learning points

• An A2-sized movie poster that best represents their short film

• The completed short film

To capture their individual learning components, two individual assessment components were included. Firstly, a video critique test session was conducted before the start of the project to scaffold their understanding of what makes a video clip engaging. After final submissions of the project deliverables, a peer review survey, conducted on Google Forms, was done to elicit peer responses on how they fair individually, within the team.

Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world’s population – more than 3.5 billion people eat rice everyday. Other than food, rice has been used to separate salt, drying items and as a heating pad.

The students are challenged to produce a video that uses rice as the inspiration of their story.
